Hi Amit, Mathura's designation as the birthplace of the Hindu deity Krishna is part of Hindu mythology and should be conveyed as such. May I request that thus be included in the article for Mathura? Here's a possible edit for the second paragraph: "In Hindu mythology, Mathura is the birthplace of the Hindu deity Lord Krishna at the centre of Braj or Brij-bhoomi. It is, thus, also called Shri Krishna Janma-Bhoomi, literally: 'Lord Krishna's birthplace'." Thanks very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.7.95 ( talk) 15:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I would like more information. Especially Mathura's first ocupation and typical wares. There is a book of Doris Meth Srinivasan about Mathura, I would like passages from it commented or reproduced here.
Perhaps the section on the art of Mathura could be expanded and improved; Kapardin Buddha images should be shown. Information about the type of stone used in sculptures (Sikri Quartzite )should be included Herlands ( talk) 04:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Raghav 14:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Hi, I see this message on the top of the page asking for cleanup of the page. I would love to understand more about this, since I believe may be I can contribute towards the exercise. Being a native/resident of the city, I feel pretty close to this.
Image:StrikeICorps.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

As habitual the info on the districte is quoted in the city page. Please move it because the district article is too short and lack many essencial information.
I suggest push in all the indian districts article a template of warning for the indian collaborators, explaining the difference between city and district, difference that seems that is near unknow in India, and then the convenence of write the article in the right site.-- 88.19.49.50 ( talk) 14:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

JayB91, you can't keep re adding unsourced content citing expansion of article as you did here. Not to mention WP:NOTADIRECTORY which doesn't allow this kind of listing. We are supposed to keep the notable ones having articles or atleast entries supported by references. Pinging @ Arjayay: - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 10:20, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Removal of Vrindavan Temples from this page is not constructive. They all are part of Brij Bhoomi circuit. A paragraph in religious heritage section mentioning like "Notables Temples in and around Mathura are.." should be included mentioning notable Vrindavan and Govardhan Temples. 117.205.193.12 ( talk) 12:23, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
